A staffer for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) hit a Fox News crew with an umbrella on Thursday as they attempted to question the congresswoman about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu coming to speak to Congress.

Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram began asking Tlaib a question when the aide deployed the umbrella and tried to block him.

After Pergram dodged the umbrella, he moved around to Tlaib’s other side and asked: “What happens if Netanyahu comes to speak? Is that a mistake by the Speaker to extend this request? What do you think of the Democratic leaders agreeing to that request as well?”

“Would you attend?” he asked. “Would you protest in any form?”

Tlaib would not answer until the staffer repositioned himself to block the person holding the camera.

“I don’t know, inviting a war criminal to Congress is a sham,” she answered. “It’s shameful.”

The cameraman appeared to say that the staffer hit him with an umbrella, which the staffer denied.

“We have it on video, guys,” Pergram said.

Pergram went up to a police officer who was standing there and said: “He hit him with the umbrella. That’s assault.”

“I mean, this is ridiculous,” another member of the Fox News crew said.

Two more women filed lawsuits against rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs this week after explosive footage surfaced late last week that showed him violently beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

On Tuesday, former model Crystal McKinney alleged that when she was 22 years old, Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him at his recording studio in New York City in 2003 after the two had been drinking and she was given marijuana that she believes was laced with a narcotic.

She says that after the incident, she was blackballed in the industry and suffered from a variety of mental health issues, and even attempted suicide.

On Thursday, April Lampros said in a separate lawsuit that she met Combs in 1994 while she was studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She alleged that she was sexually assaulted four times over several years, including one incident where she says she was given drugs, forced to have sex with Combs’ girlfriend, and then was raped by Combs.

The two new allegations bring the total number of women who have accused Combs of sex crimes to six.

The allegations come after Combs issued an apology this week for the video that showed him assaulting Ventura, even though he had previously denied her allegations were true.

“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he said. “I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom. And I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.”

“I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it; I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I had to go into therapy, going to rehab, had to ask God for His mercy and grace,” he continued. “I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”

The video shows Combs running down the hall after Ventura and catching up to her as she waits for an elevator.

Combs appears to grab her, throw her on the ground, kick her, and attempt to drag her back to the hotel room. She later slowly gets up and picks up a phone on the wall near the elevator as Combs walks back to the hotel room with her bags.

He later returned and appeared to shove her into a corner before sitting on a nearby chair and throwing an object at her.

The release of the video comes after federal law enforcement officials with the Department of Homeland Security executed raids on two homes belonging to Combs in March in connection to an alleged sex trafficking investigation.
